Those of us who have used Aqua Soil in the past have all experienced the same set of circumstances and it has been mentioned on this the forum in several different threads. We have conversed about this pretty extensively over on the NJAGC member's forum as well. In fact, during aquascaping demonstrations utilizing the ADA brand substrate system, Jeff Senske will often inform the observers of those very points.
Your observations and experiences confirm what many of us have been through in the past.
Trick for you now is going to be when to start fertilizing and how much!

Oh yeah I know it's not anything new, but I'm just reassuring people how easy it is, and how successful it is. I really just watch the plants and dose accordingly with lots of WC's, high light, matching CO2 (Barr stated that CO2 limits are directly related to amount of light plants can use), ADA AS II, and strong filtration. Very simple, very effective, and most importantly no algae and dosing of N or P!
the only thing that might turn people off is that you do need some diligence to do large water changes everyday/every other day.
I'll keep everyone updated on it in this thread!
